Bernier burns Panthers in overtime

St. Thomas only lead one time in this afternoon's game versus UPEI but ultimately it was the only time it matter. Team Captain Dominique Bernier scored at 5:49 of overtime to lift her Tommies to a 3 to 2 decision over the Panthers.

The first period was scoreless with STU holding the territorial and shots on goal advantage 9 to 7. UPEI hung tough and had some good scoring chances but could not convert.

The Panthers got on the board first at 2:08 of the 2nd frame scoring on the PP from the stick of Amber Gaudette. STU responded at 5:40 when Jillan Coughlin got her third of the season from Bernier and Brewster. UPEI had a glorious chance to regain the lead when a STU defender was called for closing her hand on the puck in the crease which resulted in a penalty shot. Kristin Wolfe stayed with the shooter, who rung it off the post. Game tied after 2 with shots favouring STU 20-17.

The third period saw UPEI forge ahead once again on a two man advantage at 9:58 but Lucrese Nussbaum knotted the game at 13:23 when she came in from the point and smashed one past UPEI's goalie Kristy Dobson. Kelbaugh and Rossignol drew the assists and did a lot of hard work down low.

With the remainder of the third period solving nothing, Dominique Bernier would pull out the win for STU. With UPEI concerned with 2 other Tommies in their zone an open lane appeared and Domi skated in and let a wrister go that beat the goalie clean for the OT dramatics.

other than the fact i dont referee in NB but back home in Ontario over xmas and when school is over, its not an arrogant accusing opinion. If someone wants to referee in a high profile league like the AUS, he or she is open to criticism by the public. Never knew it was such a big deal by the anonymous posters.

I wonder if eagles has much lined up for new recruits for the second half? Also, i wonder if cancelled games are made up between the first and second half the season. We have almost 5 weeks with no hockey otherwise.
